HORRIFIC videos have shown Iran’s twisted “Moral Police” kidnapping women from the streets in their latest draconian campaign against the dress code.
Those who break Tehran’s laws can be sexually assaulted, electrocuted and beaten for infractions as minor as wearing jeans in public.

Video from Tehran shows a woman surrounded by about a dozen officers, two women punching her in the face and two men dragging her toward a van.
In another, a woman is heard asking, “Let me put (my scarf) on” as an officer shoots her with a stun gun.
Under the code name “Noor,” which means “light” in Farsi, the Islamic Republic has launched a massive new crackdown on anyone who disobeys its strict clothing restrictions for women.
The latest tough restrictions went into effect on April 13, just hours before Iran launched hundreds of drones and suicide missiles into Israel.

Online media has also been subject to crackdowns. Police detained numerous women who spoke out about their experiences and deleted hundreds of Instagram posts.
Even more surprising is that some women appear to have joined the retrograde police force, with young Iranians calling them “bats.”
Women working with authorities are most often seen wearing the full hijab, which Iranian leaders consider the most modest style of clothing.
They are part of a new law enforcement group called “Ambassadors of Kindness” by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is helping to enforce strict restrictions and silence criticism, an expert said. News from heaven.
Iranian women told The Telegraph that they had been sexually abused and restricted from entering public places such as universities, cafes and subway stations because they did not wear headscarves or wore tight pants.
The death of Mahsa Amini
More and more women go out in public without the veil since the death in September 2022 of Mahsa Amini, a young woman who was arrested for wearing her hijab “inappropriately.”
The 37-year-old man reportedly died in police custody after being arrested.
But the circumstances surrounding his death remain controversial, with conflicting reports from authorities and activists.
Her case highlighted issues of women’s rights and police brutality in Iran.
Following Amini’s death, there were protests across the country and the white morality police vans temporarily disappeared.
But now they have returned in furious force.
Iranian police chief Ahmadreza Radan said Tuesday that the latest crackdown will be carried out with “force and precision.”

Many Iranians claim that this particular moment was chosen because of a shift in global focus.
A 25-year-old civil engineering student from Karaj said The Telegraph Anonymous: “A group of plainclothes officers approached me around five in the afternoon last Wednesday as I was walking along the sidewalk toward my house.
“I had my scarf around my neck, ready for them to take it off if I found them, but it all unfolded too quickly for me to react.
“One of them, with a long beard, made a call and asked for a van to be brought to the scene.
“Shortly after, he started touching me inappropriately. He was touching my breasts and telling me ‘Isn’t this what you wanted by going out like this? Enjoy then.’ “It was the worst moment of my life.”
He added: “I tried to resist, but another of them grabbed me by the hair and threw me to the ground.
“Feeling helpless, I tried to scream and ask for help, but there was no one there. “I got up but someone else grabbed my shirt and threw me to the ground again.”
Jailed women’s rights activist Narges Mohammadi, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, called the situation a “total war on women.”
In a voicemail from the notorious Evin prison, she said: “Today, the authoritarian religious government, driven more by desperation than force, has unleashed an all-out war against women on every street in the country.”
Academic institutions and cafeterias have also been affected.
In protest of new regulations at universities, more than 200 students at Tehran’s Amirkabir University went on strike on Sunday and skipped classes.
DEATH OF TEENAGE PROTESTER
It comes after a leaked document revealed how an Iranian teenager was sexually assaulted and murdered by three men working for Iran’s security forces.
Nine days after disappearing during an anti-regime protest in 2022, the body of 16-year-old Nika Shakarami was discovered.
He committed suicide, according to the government.
But the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the security organization that defends the nation’s Islamic system, summarized a hearing into Nika’s case in a “highly confidential” report.
It mentions the names of his murderers and the high-ranking officials who tried to hide the facts. BBC reports.
The secret document also describes disturbing information about what happened in the back of an undercover van while security officers held Nika.
These include a man who sexually abused Nika while sitting on her and the teenager fought back, kicking and cursing while handcuffed and restrained.
She also mentions in a written confession that the men beat her with a baton.
